To stay on the cutting-edge of technology, Ford has recently donated to a California-based startup company dedicated to making three-dimensional maps for future autonomous vehicles.
The automaker, along with three other companies, donated over $6.6 million in seed funding to Civil Maps in order to help jumpstart this technological boom. Civil Maps will use artificial-intelligence to collect data from sensors on self-driving vehicles.
"Investing in and working with Civil Maps gives us an additional way to develop 3D high-resolution maps, which will bring fully autonomous Ford vehicles a step closer to reality for consumers," stated Alan Hall, a Ford spokesman.
